Wings Read Along- Chapters 8-11

Welcome to Day 3 in our Wings Read Along! If you haven't already, please be sure to download your FREE ebook of Wings from one of these sites here- Today we're talking about Chapters 8-11

Chapter 8- Laurel meets Tamani. I love this chapter! I really liked the description of the woods that Laurel goes into. I loved it when Tamani and Laurel meet, as I sensed (I've read this a few times, but I wording this so I don't give away spoilers), that both of them have met before and may have a history together. What are your thoughts about Tamani and Laurel? How would you have reacted if you were in Laurel's position and just found out you were a fairy?

Chapter 9-Laurel tells David. Can I be honest and say that I think it's weird that David is so relaxed over Laurel telling him she's a flower. Either he's really a cool, laid back guy or there's something else about him. Or maybe I've read too many books with character twists lately and I'm being very cynical toward's David. What do you guys think about his reaction?

Chapter 10 & 11- Laurel realizes she's not human. I have to say I do like David, even though I keep thinking he's going to have a character twist about him. I like that he's interested in helping Laurel find out who she is. How would you react if you found out you really aren't human?

Cassie and Holly On Tour - Kepler's in Menlo Park, CA



I attended Kepler's signing in Menlo Park last night and this time I brought my kids. They were especially eager to meet Holly because two out of three have read The Spiderwick Chronicles. See, the picture above? My youngest remarked that, "Even Holly's shoes were magical." Indeed.

What a fun, informative gathering. The folks at Kepler's were beautifully organized and kept the line moving but made sure that every single person had a chance to chat with Cassie and Holly. As for any information gathered, well, here are a few tidbits:

- Cassie met with "City of Bones" movie people this past week. And no, they have not cast Jace yet but are down to a "few candidates."
- We can look forward to a contemporary novel from Cassie, but only after she finshes City of Heavenly Fire, which will be released in 2013.
- Holly has turned in Black Heart to her publishers and is working on a middle grade novel. But she hopes to come back to the world of the Curseworkers after that.


I had a chance to stop and talk to Lisa Desrochers (pictured above) author of Personal Demons (here's the link to my review , er, love letter to her Luc) and I also met Sandy from Sunny Books, who loves Hot Boys with Swords as much as I do.

I hope my posts will encourage you to catch Cassie's and Holly's tour if it comes any where near your area. I guarantee that you will still be grinning days later at what they said and the people you met. Now, I'm off to finish Red Glove. I only have three chapters left...I know you can feel my anxiety at that thought, MMs.
